Well, those wouldn’t be attachments, at least not as far as CBL is concerned. 
All you’d have in CBL is a document property that refers to some binary blobs 
being managed using a different sync system like Dropbox. Which you’re welcome 
to do, and I think some apps already do — just make up a property called, say, 
“attachments” and put some data in it that includes S3 URLs or Dropbox paths or 
whatever.

If that’s not what you’re thinking of, could you describe it in greater detail?
